What's the used Toyota Previa like?

The big Toyota is all about carrying people in comfort and does it well.

You get seven comfortable seats - some versions even have eight - but they don't fold into the floor. However, you can slide the five rearmost chairs backwards and forwards to share out the legroom. There's not much luggage space if you leave all the seats in place, but you can remove them to leave a stadium-like 2929 litres of cargo space.

Also impressive is the way the Previa drives. The handling is tidy, the steering beefs up nicely as speeds rise, and the ride, which is a little firm in town, is composed and smooth.

The Previa makes a good long-distance motor, too - stable on the motorway, refined and quiet. It's all topped off with a reasonable driving position (although tall drivers will want more legroom) and good visibility.
